Boo!

Here’s my card for Mercy’s latest sketch challenge. Even though my stint as a guest Muse is over, I made sure to make time to play along with this week’s sketch. I combined it with the current There She Goes color inspiration challenge to use purple, lime, and orange.

The Echo Park Halloween paper collection was perfect for the challenge! I picked two different patterns, a simple green grid pattern for the cardfront and a more busy dotted one for the strips that run up and down the card, for my card. I arranged them on my purple card base, then set it aside to work on the image panel.

I used the cute ghost pair from the Hauntingly Delightful set from There She Goes for my image panel, along with the matching “boo” sentiment. The images are stamped on shimmery white cardstock. I stamped the ghosts a second time on a shimmery scrap, cut them out and added them to the panel with foam tape. A piece of orange grosgrain ribbon is knotted around the left side of the panel to fill the empty space.

Materials Used:
Hauntingly Delightful stamp set (There She Goes); Tuxedo Black ink (Memento); marker (Copic); Elegant Eggplant and Shimmery White cardstock (Stampin’ Up!); Happy Halloween designer paper (Echo Park); orange grosgrain ribbon (Michaels); foam tape
